Christmas Eve 2009
Despite some rough weather, our Christmas Eve Services had almost 1400 people at them and I think our creative teams did the best job they ever have putting a service together. Doug and Wes did a great gig with the kids and told the Christmas story at the same time. We got to focus in on what it meant for Christ to Release his right to heaven and come to earth. The Candlelight with “Silent Night” and ending with “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus” left our focus in the perfect place. On top of that, our Christmas offering to help people in need in our area topped $40,000 this year.
And that is all without mentioning a powerful rendition of “Little Drummer Boy” to start the service. I just got my hands on the video so I’ve inserted it here so you can either re-live it or see what the buzz was about:
I love, love, LOVED christmas service!!! It is always a highlight of the christmas season for me and it has yet to disappoint. The Little Drummer Boy made me sit back and smile going “dude! I go to church here!!!” and the message itself was powerful. Great service:) God is at work at suncrest:)
